BC Rytas Vilnius (LKL) strengthened their roster with addition of 31-year old former Lithuanian international 207cm center Evaldas Kairys. It is actually his comeback to Vilnius as he has played here before. Kairys played most recently at Afyon in Turkish BSL league. In 23 games he recorded 10.3ppg, 6.0rpg, 1.6apg and 1.0spg last season. The last season he played at Rytas in Lithuanian LKL where in 22 games he averaged 7.9ppg, 3.9rpg and 1.4bpg in 2019-2020 season. He helped them to end the regular season as a second best team in the league. They also played in the Cup final. Kairys also played 16 games in Eurocup where he had 6.9ppg and 4.0rpg.
He was a member of Lithuanian international program for some years. Kairys was called to Lithuanian Senior National Team two years ago and previously for U20 National Team between 2020 and 2010.
He has played previously professionally also in Lithuania (MRU Vilnius and Pieno Zvaigzdes Pasvalys) and Turkey (Usak and Buyukcekmece).
The scouts decsribe him following way: Forward with a perfect body to dominate under the basket. Mobile, dynamic, strong, exceptionally athletic forward with long body. Evaldas dominates under the basket in offense when gets the ball handily. Has to improve his back to the basket skills, post moves. Has a good shot, but rarely uses that at mid-range game. Good defender, shot-blocker and rebounder.
